Mine rehabilitation and radiation protection

We have extensive experience in uranium ore mine remediation. This knowledge underpins WISUTEC's particular expertise in the specialist areas such as radiation protection, the handling of radioactive substances, the removal of uranium from drinking water as well as data management in the context of environmental remediation projects.

We put our experience to work for you.
With an eye for the big picture and attention to detail.

International activities

Since its establishment, WISUTEC has been operating internationally.

Our clients include mining and resource companies, governments and authorities, as well as large international organisations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

History

  • WISUTEC has its roots in the Wismut SDAG, which was one of the largest uranium producers from 1946 to 1990 and, since German reunification, has been operating as a federal company carrying out one of the largest mining and environmental remediation projects in the world. The Wismut project set international standards in the closure and remediation of mining sites, especially those with radioactive contamination.
  • In 2002, WISUTEC Wismut Umwelttechnik GmbH was founded as a subsidiary of Wismut GmbH in order to market the know-how acquired in the activities of Wismut GmbH on an international scale in a both flexible and customer-oriented manner.
  • In 2010, all shares of the WISUTEC business were purchased by G.E.O.S. Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH. The company operated under the name WISUTEC Umwelttechnik GmbH from 2009 to 2020.
  • In 2021, WISUTEC Umwelttechnik GmbH was integrated into G.E.O.S. Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH as the WISUTEC branch. This set the course for a modern and sustainable joint marketing of the two companies.
